Faskolor by Parma has 2 different shades of bright or flourescent orange. I believe one would be too dark, the other too bright. Mix the 2 toghther, and voila....

I would put more than a couple drops of white in with the stock Creatix/Fascolor stock orange. It's not 100% accurate.

On a similar note, the side panels on the buggy, the lightest color, is it white or just a really light color blue?
